Flow Chart

This document provides guidelines for naming different types of chemical compounds: 1. Ionic compounds are named by writing the cation first followed by the anion using standard prefixes and suffixes. 2. Covalent compounds with two elements are named by writing both elements, while those with more than two elements sometimes include oxygen and the number of oxygen atoms follows patterns based on the periodic table group. 3. Acids are named with the prefix for the negative ion followed by "ic acid".

NAMING COMPOUNDS!

Prefixes:
H+1 is at the beginning, Metal + Non-Metal 2 Non-Metals
Acting like the metal! 1-mono
2-di
3-tri
4-tetra
5-penta
6-hexa
7-hepta
ACID IONIC COVALENT 8-octa
9-nona
10-deca

1. Name the negative ion bonded to H 1. prefix – element – prefix – element - ide
2. Change the ending:
ate to ic
ite to ous
ide to hydro-ic
- per means one more oxygen
1. Name both ions!
than normal
-ite means 1 less oxygens than
2 elements, with more than 2 elements,
normal
no oxygen sometimes with oxygen
hypo-ite means 2 less oxygens
than normal
ends in –ide how many oxygens?
thio means one less oxygen, one
example: NaCl If element that is with oxygen
more sulfur
sodium chloride is in 4 on periodic table, there
bi means a H+ has been added,
are 4 oxygens, and the name is
which reduces the charge by 1
-ide MEANS -ate – otherwise, there are 3
NO OXYGEN oxygens and the name is -ate
FOR IONIC COMPOUNDS
ie) Na2(SO4) is called sodium sulfate
